Art Show
Annual Meeting: Submit Your Artwork for The Art of Scientists Art Show!
This year, we come together again to enjoy the beauty of our profession and the talents of our community at the 66th Annual Meeting & Exhibition in Los Angeles, CA. Although this year’s show will not include a public poll, a special exhibit is planned as a surprise for all attendees.
We will be accepting submissions of original 2D visual artworks in any physical media (drawing, painting, collage, etc.), with a maximum size of 12 inches by 15 inches, protruding no more than 3 inches from the backing. Works made using artificial intelligence tools, or suspected to have been made with such tools, will not be considered for exhibition. One entry per AAPM attendee is allowed. Due to space limitations, submissions will be accepted until the available exhibition space is full, based on the time in which the application was submitted.
All works must include their respective mounting hardware and other materials required for hanging the artwork. Further hanging instructions will be provided by the organizers to the authors of the accepted works.
All artists will be responsible for transporting the artwork to and from the Art Show. The care and protection of the artworks are the responsibility of their respective authors. AAPM and the individuals organizing the Art Show are not responsible for any damage that may occur to the artworks during the Art Show or during the transport of the works. All artworks and submissions must abide by the AAPM Code of Ethics.
Submissions will be accepted via Google Forms starting on May 1st via the link here. The submission form closes on May 19th, or when all available exhibition spaces are filled. Accepted entries will be announced to the respective authors via email. Further inquiries may be directed to artofscientistsaapm@gmail.com.
